WASTE, UTTERLY
Waste me,
This night
You are not utterly
Capable
Culpable
You try
With vain strokes
Of disarming glee
To tame me
But I,
Who simmer
And laugh at your
Foolery
Wit-tery, if not
Don't begrudge
This slim knock
Against a sliver
Of my thigh
Unveiled,
By the grazing
Of your hot palm
Sparks sweep,
And unarm
My armery of pretense,
Walled
Unbased
Waste me,
Tonight
I am yours,
Utterly.

Poetry: Challenges of love
by Alec Machet
Scared To Say
One more day passes slowly
And another hour dies
I rest my head in my hands
And wait
Time stops
And I wonder why
I'm
As the sun slowly sets, I face another cold and lonely night
He gets all slicked up, out the door he goes and soon his truck
by JCW
He was dangerous
Like a loose cannon
Says he's going to get on his feet
but I never saw him standin'
He spills viscous words
by Polana Fehu
Love is the rain.
A light haze settling on tropical skin,
Gently soaking through clothing
Leaving a clammy,
Hot aftermath.
Love
THE GREAT PRETENDER
Tonight I must pretend you don't matter.
Tonight I must momentarily dismiss all these torturous thoughts
